ORLANDO—For all the talk about Orlando's rising industrial market, Jacksonville is not doing too shabby in north Florida. Considering what comes from the north often flows through Central Florida and down to South Florida, strategic deals in Jacksonville are worth noting.

Westside Industrial Park, a 5.5-million-square-foot development located off Pritchard Road, and the 1.5-million-square-foot NorthPoint Industrial Park, are two assets to watch. JLL just landed the exclusive leasing assignment from Pattillo Industrial Real Estate for the two parks. JLL vice president Luke Pope, who leads the firm's industrial practice in Jacksonville, will oversee the leasing efforts.

Westside Industrial Park is located on Port Jacksonville Parkway. The parks are the first leasing assignment to be outsourced from Pattillo Industrial in Florida as the firm moves to increase focus on acquisitions and new development.
